The Retired Deputy General Overseer of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, Pastor J.H. Abiona, is dead.
An official of the church confirmed the death of the
96-year-old retired DGO of the church on Saturday.
According to the official who craved anonymity, the church
would make an official statement on the passing of Abiona soon.
Abiona was one of the respected elders of the church. He was appointed acting General Superintendent after the death of the founder, Pa Josiah Akindayomi.
Abiona had handled the transition of the church leadership
from Akindayomi to Adeboye and weathered the storm generated by people who were
eager to lead the church, despite God’s plan, which had earlier been made known
to them.
Respected for his humility and commitment to the work of God
in the church, Abiona was known as one of the very few people to pray for
Adeboye and his wife, Foluke, during church programmes.
In an earlier interview with a magazine in the church, he
had said, “I thank God that we insisted on doing God’s will and today everyone
can see that the successor was God’s choice.”
